I tried to record it but then kept editing and someone is staying in my apartment who I don't know well so didn't want to read it aloud again for recording after they'd arrived. (Ha!) (I thought they might think I was nuts.) Hmmmm....<br /><br />Thanks. k.

And I cheated, too, because the only corn I've eaten in two years is the local harvest at 80 cents an ear. But words have no sense of obedience today, they totally went with memory instead. I'll be back tomorrow to be inspired some more.
